Fly ash is a fine powder which is a byproduct obtained from burning pulverized coal in electric power generation plants. It is collected from the exhaust gases by bag filters or electrostatic precipitators. This fine powder chemically reacts with calcium hydroxide, a byproduct released by reaction between water and cement. Fly ash has many beneficial properties which led to high demand for constructional activities. It is used as a cementious material in the production of Portland cement concrete. Fly Ash, based on its properties is categorized into two classes; Class F and Class C. Both the types of fly ash are used as building material depending upon the properties suitable for its use in the construction sector. Residential buildings, road constructions, corporate infrastructure, etc are built using fly ash due to its strength and performance to stand in place for longer period of time. Hence, fly ash has gained high demand from the construction sector worldwide.

The two major reasons for use of fly ash as an ingredient in building materials and concrete are because it improves the quality of finished products and breeds significant environmental benefits.
